It seems as though there's an endless amount of detailing products so many people use on here. And, since I've been doing other people's cars I've found out how each car can require quite different things. I'm not a bazillionaire, but have $$ to spend, so help me out with a few things:



What to use for:

1) Swirl/scratch removal

2) Polishing to clean & brighten paintwork (I only use Klasse AIO now, but some more abrasive cleaner is needed)

3) Sealant and/or wax (depending on client's individual specifications--I've been using a layer of Klasse AIO topped with a layer of Platinum for the paint, and that's it.)

4) Interior vinyl & plastic protectant/cleaning

5) Carpet cleaning & spot removal (Use some "Tuff Stuff" foam--doesn't do much--and then some Dawn & water with a brush)

6) Tires (Use Meguiar's HG gel, like the look, hope to get some TW gel at the Dollar Store for $2 to try)

7) Wheel sealant/wax (Different for each car so far, ranging from just some wax, to a coat of Klasse SG)



Most notably, I think a PC or other bufferwould be useful, but I'd like to build up a little more $$ before getting anything as expensive.



Any ideas? What do you other professionals use, start to finish?
 
Well Here's what I use



1) Swirl/scratch removal - ProWax's Swirl Eliminator



2) Polishing to clean & brighten paintwork (I only use Klasse AIO now, but some more abrasive cleaner is needed)



For taking out staining I like Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion. Can that be bought in a gallon? I'm almost out and wouldn't mind it in a gallon. For heavier polishing I use ProWax's Duz-All. Duz-All is the heaviest compound I carry but I can get some more heavy stuff but have yet to find a need for it.



3) Sealant and/or wax (depending on client's individual specifications--I've been using a layer of Klasse AIO topped with a layer of Platinum for the paint, and that's it.)



I'll do any wax a customer wants. I currently carry Meguiar's Gold Class, Eagle One Paste, Eagle One Wet, *cough* Turtle Wax *cough*, Meguiar's #26, 3m Perfect if Show Car Liquid Wax, Klasse AIO and Klasse SG, ProWax's Sealant Glaze (carnauba with their sealant), and ProWax's Miracle Wax.



4) Interior vinyl & plastic protectant/cleaning



I use Pro's Heavy Duty interior cleaner and use ProWax's Premo Dressing. I also carry 303 Aerospace.



5) Carpet cleaning & spot removal (Use some "Tuff Stuff" foam--doesn't do much--and then some Dawn & water with a brush)



Use Pro's ProSol for petro stains, Use Pro's Heavy Duty interior Cleaner for everything else.



6) Tires (Use Meguiar's HG gel, like the look, hope to get some TW gel at the Dollar Store for $2 to try)



ProWax' Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner and their white wall cleaner. I'll dress them with ProWax's Premium Blue dressing.
